Rating: 5 (300 reviews)

Fatty acids derived from natural vegetable sources such as palm oil and palm kernel oil are produced through a process that involves splitting fats at high temperatures and pressure.

This process breaks down the triglycerides in the oils into their constituent fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be further processed and used in various applications.

Common applications of fatty acids include the manufacturing of soap and metallic soaps, rubber processing, candles, cosmetic products, fatty alcohols, fatty amines, and fatty esters.

Fatty acids are also used as raw materials in a wide range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, soap, detergents, surfactants, and textiles.

Distilled and fractionated fatty acids are produced in state-of-the-art oleochemical plants in Malaysia, adhering to the highest quality standards. These include fatty acids such as stearic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid.

Fatty Acids Specifications

Stearic Acid Specifications

Fatty Acid is 100% From Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil origin and Kosher certified.

Fractionated Fatty Acids

Fractionated fatty acids are derived from the high-pressure hydrolysis of vegetable palm oil and palm kernel oil, followed by a fractionation process that separates the product into light and heavy fractions. This process yields distilled fatty acids such as palmitic acid, oleic acid, lauric acid, and stearic acid.

Fatty acids possess specific characteristics that make them highly valued in various formulations across multiple industries, including detergents, emulsifiers, plasticizers, and modified oils.

Distilled Fatty Acids

Distilled fatty acids are produced through the hydrolysis of palm oil and palm kernel oil under high pressure and temperature. The resulting product is then distilled to obtain a white, purified fatty acid. The melting point of distilled fatty acids is typically 50–55°C for palm oil-based fatty acids and around 25°C for coconut oil-based fatty acids.

These distilled fatty acids are widely used in the manufacture of soaps and detergents, and in the production of fractionated fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and surfactants for personal care products.
